Are you on the fence about taking the leap towards your leadership development journey? Here's what yoUR colleagues saying about their Launching into Leadership experience!

"The program strengthened my confidence in my managerial abilities as well as strengthened my connections across campus. Because I had limited management experience before stepping into my current role, Launching into Leadership gave me practical tools and insight that I wouldn’t have gained as quickly from just from handling my day-to-day responsibilities." —Cameron Buzzard, Budget & Accounting Coordinator

"I would say that the sense of community, in the room alone, was enough to keep me coming back. By the end, you'll have learned so much from each other and had an opportunity meet and hear from various colleagues from every corner of campus." —Paul Just, Manager, Custodial & Environmental Services

Launching into Leadership kicks off on Wednesday, March 18 and takes place over the next 6 weeks. Register today by emailing Ashelle Brown (abrown6@richmond.edu)!
